A great rifle with great architecture. The Lancaster influence is quite evident.

Great Rifle! This rifle appears to have been built by Simon Sr. patriarch of a family of outstanding gunsmiths. The lock is of a period that would be more fitting for a rifle built by his son Simon Jr. but this beautiful rifle seems early and the lock looks replaced.
